Answer:

Explanation:

Flavoprotein which are involved in electron transfer are located in inner mitochondrial membrane and accepts the electrons from primary dehydrogenases and transfer to electron transferring flavoprotein dehydrogenase which finally transfer them to coenzyme Q in a normal mechanism.

So if flavoprotein transfers the electrons directly to final electron acceptor it would produce a highly potent oxygen radical "hydrogen peroxide". Apart from this the other effect would be;

  • The less protons would be pumped to intermembrane space of mitochondria and ultimately the production of ATP would be decreased.
  • The energy of electrons would be lost in heat as it is not utilized for the production of ATP so there would be more heat production.

What is selective permeability?
konstantin123 [22]
Selective permeability, made possible in cells by the phospholipid bilayer that makes up the plasma membrane, is basically monitoring and regulating what can and can't enter the cell. It is carried out by a series of membrane proteins that act as channels to polar molecules, opening to allow them in and closing to prevent their entry. This is possible because the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid molecules repel polar molecules and so prevent their entry unless through a channel.
